The 4,500th SACD title mark has been crossed at sa-cd.net earlier this afternoon....of course, by 5 new Japan Sony jazz titles.Just bumping up the old "Save SACD" petition. Currently with 2,713 signatures.

There is almost zero pop music released on SACD. There is almost zero classical music released on LP. The markets could hardly be more separate. As someone who likes both LP and SACD, I am very glad to see the vinyl resurgence in the pop and rock releases. But there is no such resurgence in the classical market. The best sounding classical releases today are all on SACD. And there aren't all that many of those either. I'd like to see pop and rock come out on SACD and I'd also like to see a lot more classical vinyl. But those are probably just pipedreams.
I agree with both you and pacman. The point of my post was to share the article about vinyl. The "fly in the ointment" phrase is not a good fit.

No problem.I was going to ask you what ointment, but since you've voted no confidence in your own analogy, I won't.
But the 800 pound gorilla in the room is the downloaded song. Vinyl, like SACD will always have a niche audience and may enjoy a small retro comeback. But the future of recorded music is selling electrons - not black or silver discs.

So quantity does count, CD has more quantity currently than any other format.Also if quality counted more than money then Telarc, BIS, etc. would have all the major orchestras recording for them and the poor quality companies such as Deutsche Grammophon, Teldec, Sony Music, modern Philips, modern RCA etc. would be dead.
But unfortunately quantity and money is what counts in the real world, only us audiophile care about quality !
